Abstract: The Radio over Fiber (RoF ) communication technology combines the technical advantages of both fiber communication and wireless mobile communication to solve the problems of bandwidth, flexibility and electromagnetic interference. Research of the technology is drawing wide concerns around the world. However, high cost becomes a drawback of this technology at present. In this article the RoF Multi-System Access (RoFMA ) scheme is proposed. The scheme makes use of the Optical Time Division Multiplexing (OTDM ) and multi-system multiplex/de-multiplex technologies to lower the access cost. The article also predicts good development and market prospect of the RoFMA technology.
